Everything takes longer with a family in tow – right? You may think packing an incredible adventure into a week would be too much hassle and organisation, but we’ve selected five of our favourite family adventures that will engage and inspire young minds in just one week.
You might be looking to make the most a shorter time frame, or perhaps you simply want to achieve something incredible as a family that you’ll never forget. Either way, with an Exodus leader on hand and our staff sorting out all the logistics, you’re freed up to enjoy an incredible adventure in just one week.
These are perfect half-term holidays for active families looking to pack a lot in, or if you’re travelling over summer, it’s easy for us to organise a second week of relaxation for you afterwards – a week on the beach after an action-packed itinerary has proved especially popular.
Take a look at our five family adventures you can do – together – in just a week.
Achievable: Discover the Secrets of the Rainforest
Boy enjoying an African safari
A barely discernible time difference makes a huge difference for young travellers heading to East Africa. A classic safari is a huge source of excitement at any age – the chance to see iconic species like lions, leopards and elephants right before your eyes. Our sensitively run safaris are ideal for young travellers, though a little patience goes a long way for the early morning game drives.

Achievable: Uncover an Ancient Civilisation
Mount Toubkal
For active families who like being out and about in the mountains and are looking for a challenge to take on together as a team, this is definitely for you. Mount Toubkal is a challenging but achievable rocky summit that requires a bit of perseverance but no technical skills to complete. The sense of achievement when your whole family stands on the highest point in North Africa is a shared memory you will have for a lifetime.
Achievable: Kayak the Iconic Ardeche Gorge Descent
Canoeing along the Ardeche
Sporty teenagers will adore the Ardeche in France, a paradise of mountains, gorges, and clear-flowing rivers. On this adventure you’ll team up in tandem kayaks on a two-day journey down the iconic Ardeche River, navigating the thrilling rapids along the way. Overnight, you’ll stay at an idyllic camp under the stars on the banks of the river itself. But this is far from the only excitement on this mixed-activity week: prepare for rock climbing, abseiling, ziplining and plenty of swimming too.
